This year’s wedding trends include an inspiring shift towards sustainability, a daring use of bold colours, and an emphasis on creating unforgettable guest experiences. These trends reflect a deeper desire among couples to express their personalities, make responsible choices for the planet, and ensure that their big day remains memorable for everyone involved.
Sustainability First: More than ever, couples are committing to eco-friendly weddings, choosing everything from biodegradable decor to venues that offer green credentials. This conscious decision-making process is shaping the industry, pushing vendors and planners to offer options that minimise environmental impact without compromising on style.
Tips for Sustainable Planning:
- Choose Local: Opt for local vendors and seasonal flowers to reduce your carbon footprint.
- Eco-Friendly Invitations: Consider digital invites or use recycled paper.
- Sustainable Favors: Gift plantable seed papers or donate to a charity on behalf of your guests.
- Upcycled decor and rentals to minimise waste.

A Splash of Colour Gone are the days of muted palettes and subdued themes. In 2025, weddings are all about bold colours that make a statement. From deep blues and vivid greens to bright oranges and pinks, these colours are used to energise spaces and reflect the joy of the occasion.
Tips for Incorporating Colour:
- Colour Coordination: Choose a vibrant colour palette that reflects your personality and use it consistently across your decor, attire, and stationery.
- Limit Your Palette: Choose two or three main colours and one or two accent shades to keep the look unified. Too many colours can feel chaotic.
- Visualise the Mood: Colours evoke emotions. Decide on the mood you want to set (e.g., romantic, festive, serene) and pick colours that reflect that.

The Resurgence of Bows: In 2025, bows are making a grand comeback, adding a touch of classic charm and sophistication to every aspect of wedding celebrations. This versatile trend is seeing a modern twist, with bows popping up in every colour and material imaginable, adorning dresses, cakes, and floral displays, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the festivities.
Tips for Incorporating Bows:
- Bows in Bridal Fashion: Brides and grooms are embracing bows as statement pieces in their attire. From large, dramatic bows on the back of wedding dresses to more subtle bow ties in unconventional colours for grooms, this trend adds a romantic and vintage flair to wedding fashion.
- Decorative Bows: Beyond attire, bows are becoming a staple in decor. Incorporate them into everything from chairbacks at the reception to the ends of pews in the ceremony aisle.Â

The Rise of Experience-Driven Weddings: Today’s couples are focusing on crafting experiences, not just events. They’re incorporating interactive elements like live entertainment, interactive culinary stations, and personalised touches that nod to the couples’ shared interests, making their wedding a memorable escape from the ordinary.
Tips for Incorporating Customised Experiences:
- Custom cocktail stations where guests can create their own drinks.
- Fireworks: Let your day go out with a bang!
- Poker Station: Hire a poke station and dealer for the night – a big hit with the gentlemen!

Vintage Vibes and Intimate Celebrations: As we see a revival of retro and vintage elements, couples are also choosing to scale down their guest lists in favour of small, intimate affairs that allow for more luxurious, personalised experiences. This trend favours quality over quantity, ensuring each moment and interaction is meaningful.
Tips for Vintage and Intimate Weddings:
- Vintage Decor: Incorporate classic items like vintage glassware, plates, or furniture into your decor.
- Intimate Settings: Choose a venue that feels cozy and personal, like a historic home, to enhance the intimate vibe.
